We met at a mutual friend's house party. Although we didn't fall for each other just yet. Actually a couple of years went by and through previous failed relationship, he reached out to me out of the blue and asked if I wanted to hang out. We did...but still didn't hit it off then. Between that first date and our next date we both had to go through the loss of our fathers. The next date we went on we finally we (really me) were both ready to really dive into getting to know each other. It didn't take much after that. The summer of 2021, after much loss on both sides, we were both smitten and didn't turn back. I was ready to say I love you so soon that fall, but I wasn't going to say it first. That summer Scott also enlisted in the army national guard and I didn't (still don't know) what I'm up against in our journey together. That January he left for 5ish months to attend boot camp and basic training. We wrote ALOT. I probably sent him a letter 3 times a week. Our weekly call was all I could live for and hope for while waiting for him to return. Our reunion in May of 2022 was everything I dreamed about. We were attached practically at the hip ever since then. We planned a trip in summer of 2023 and little did I know he had been sneaking pics of the ring behind my back to all my friends. He proposed at a beautifully landscaped restaurant in Palm Springs on a dock near a big pond under the stars. We are so happy to have found each other and pray God's hands are protecting our marriage and keep us happily married forever.
